Eviction Procedures In Michigan, Oakland County

The management staff at my complex is trying to evict me from my home. This is currently an on going dispute as to whether I own them late fees for previous months spanning back to 2005 and fees related to signing my renewal lease late.* The management company and I agreed upon a figure for me to pay and I did.* One month after I paid this figure, a lady from the complex management staff called me asking when I was going to pay the late fees, I told her I had already done so, but she said I did not.* Since this call, I have received vacate to quit notices, evictions notices and letters from the complex about this matter, I feel like Iím being arrested.* The last evictions notice I received, I went to court with my proof, I met with the complex lawyer and he told me the case had been dismissed.* I asked him why and he responded by asking me did you pay the fees, I said no, I paid my rent, but I did not pay any fees.* He had nothing else to say, so I left.The next month when I tried to pay my rent, I was blocked from paying it online.* I called the lady I had been discussing this matter with and she said I still owed them fees.* I asked her to send me proof and she said she would, but it never arrived.* I called her asking where the information I requested was and she said I explained to you numerous times how you owe these fees and I have nothing to send you.* I now have another eviction notice and need advise on how to handle this matter.* I believe I need a lawyer, but I do not have the funds to hire one.* I researched free legal aid, but my court date is before the days they are open.* What can I do, I am tired of dealing with this and just want out of my lease.* How should I proceed?
